2015 International Tournaments Interest Thread

[Herbert Von Karajan]

The tournaments outside North America worth attending, in order of occurrence:

1) Kansai (March)
2) Dreamland-only Tacna (Tentative - probably april)
3) Kanto (August)

I'm going to do 1 Peru trip and 1 Japan trip next year. Since I think Tacna will be around March - May, I'm going to probably skip Kansai. Tacna sounds like a lot of fun, and apparently they have been training super hard on D.L. since boom left, so who knows what level they are at. I want to see if wario / megu / moyashi will go.

Spoiler: what I said before

The Japanese have 2 major tournaments a year ( Jouske pretty much just attends those two )
They have made an effort the last 2 years to come to Apex, with 3 players each time.
What have we done in return? Isai went to the Kanto tournament last year which had its date set to coincide with his trip and didnt enter the tournament. I'm sure the Japanese were ecstatic about that. It's not like their society is based on respect for your hosts or anything.

I think the west should make it up to Japan and go to their Kanasi tournament. It has less entrants, but the level of competition is supposed to be stronger (and all the cool / good players live in the area anyways).

It occurs immediately after Apex. Flight cost is approximately

• $1200 out of Boston
  
• $1120 out of NYC
• $1300 out of California
• $1200 out of Texas

I think you're thinking of Kanto, which I think is different than this.

I'm considering this. I'd definitely like to go and have yet to visit Japan. My attendance would depend on a few thing, since my car was stolen with my passport inside not too long ago, I first need to get a new vehicle, a passport, and if my friends end up flaking (they probably will) on going to Brazil for new years then I wouldn't have much of an excuse to not go to this.

 

[caneut]

I can probably go to this.

My insurance has covered everything so other than losing my passport, its not as bad as it sounds.

If it's April or after, then this will be an awesome vacation.

[Herbert Von Karajan]

Usually happens in march
beginning or middle

 

[Morin0]

Sorry, Karajanbro. Money johns. Otherwise, I'd go without a single bit of hesitation.

 

[bowl]

ima nobody but id go to a japan tourney later in the year for an excuse to visit japan

 

[Han Solo]

Mid-march is a tough call but might be doable.

 

[tacos]

Might have gone to this if I had known ahead of time(also Apux). Although, for Kanto I'm pretty sure I can make it if I don't I'll probably ditch apex 2016 for that years Kansai.

 

[Combo Blaze]

Are there any players that Japan would like to see attend those tournys or do they only care about Isai/boom? lol

 

[Herbert Von Karajan]

probably peru,
its easier for peru to travel to japan than to USA because there is no visa requirement; its almost impossible for them to get a visa "for videogames" anyways

 

[Herbert Von Karajan]
